Reminds me of what I have been trying to say for a while, just couldn't find the place for it. Anyone know how to get models from Myst III with printscreen? I still have it and it says it uses DirectX (DirectX8.0). Video games? Reminds me of what I have been trying to say for a while, just couldn’t find the place for it.

Thanks rhalstead :) I believe you can still add some dynamic elements to skyboxes, and you can most definitely mix and match to create the most immersive experience with the tools available.

Sky boxes are more infinite and can be coded in (in VRML). Other things like fog combined with level of detail help also. Combine these with realistic light mapping and decent physics and you can create a pretty real looking, immersive experience.

Skyboxes for everything interactive like a game. Tomy you would be correct, I use skydomes mostly for stationary scene’s that contain limited movement or for a single render.

I printscreened cars and found no atmosphere. That was because the atmosphere was actually a sphere over your head, following the game player around wherever Mcqueen goes. The game is actually pretty fun, but I switched to burnout paradise because of its 250 miles of HD realistic (should'nt say the same thing twice, I guess!) enviorment. Cars is similar game except it's made for kids. I have the Wall•E video game with it I got Ratatuie (however you spell that name) and Cars videogame demos.

Steam is a digital distribution portal by Valve the makers of Half-Life. All of it is free, and the demo is a fantastic interactive walkthrough.

One of my favorite examples of some of these techniques, the '3 stages of distance' in particular, is Half-Life 2 (esp. Episode 2) -- they did a great job in that game of limiting the player's movement very narrowly, yet used some clever geometry / skybox techniques to give you the sense that the world wasn't just a little corridor. I dig this level-design-specific stuff on 3DVIA. Perhaps gearing up for some new game content? :) Very nice Juan, extremely informative.
